Into the Abyss
Folder:
2017 I was not asking
for a torrential downpour
For the desires of so many days past
I looked only for a flicker
in the shape of your body
a twinkle in the eye of your smile
As you lie so restlessly against me
I asked only for a touch
a whisper for help
just a fraction of a proclamation
I longed for a soft moment
a graze of comfort
to quell the monster inside
Instead I found an emptiness
I recoiled from your vacancy
With a flat offer of more
More of me and less
less of you
I needed sensation
and I was left adrift
Your eyes darting from mine
I couldn't find compassion
away from the electric glow
'Love me' my soul cried to yours
'Later' you whispered into the abyss
Very good poem.
Very good poem.
I Have Known Two Couples
Who were merged into one person. It was miraculous to behold. The rest of us can only hope. :D
